9 avatars, 9 life lessons: Aim for wealth, health and divinity on the 4th day of Navratri

The fourth manifestation of Goddess Durga, Goddess Kushmanda stands for all things healthy and divine.

Worshipped on the fourth day of Navratri, Kushmanda is hailed as the consort of
Lord Shiva who is the embodiment of happiness and harmony. The goddess
is said to bring wealth and health in the lives of those who worship
her.

The radiance and glow on Goddess Kushmanda's face is believed to be
indicative of her governance over the Sun. The fourth most powerful form of Durga, Kushmanda is a carrier of light and illumination which guides those who tread on the path of darkness.
